Neely explained Jacobs, of East Aurora, doesn't want to part with the Bruins. NFL bylaws prohibit an owner from having another sports team in a different NFL market.

"He has no interest in getting out of hockey," The Boston Globe quoted Neely as saying on 98.5 The Sports Hub. "He's been extremely happy with his ownership here in Boston, and he's enjoying how the team is playing. He told me that he has no interest right now, or doesn't have any interest at all to give up the Boston Bruins."

"We're looking at Niagara County," Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy told Wawrow. "We're open to looking at a number of venues."

State Sen. Tim Kennedy told Wawrow he was aware that moving the Bills to the Amherst campus has been discussed as an option.

If the Jacobs family is truly out, then we have to hope that Mr. Pegula will step up and save the Bills. Barring that, Bills fans will be rooting for Donald Trump against Jon Bon Jovi. My God.

I would root for Trump over Bon Jovi in any venture.

Ok, if Jacobs it out what about the Pegula and Golisano possibilities? There's also Bob Rich, Trump and whoever Jim Kelly has in mind as a partner (although that seems a lonshot with his health troubles and not being a billionaire himself). There could be other groups with WNY ties that we don't even know abut yet. Let's not get crazy about Bon Jovi buying the team and relocating them. That is not gonna happen.
